I'm not sure if you got your goat yet, but a thought that came to me was if you want weed control, a sheep may be a better choice depending on the forage you have to be grazed. I use my goats to graze things my sheep don't care to eat. Sheep seem to eat grass better than my goats. My goats on the other hand eat the stickers, woody plants and the bigger weeds along with the grass. Goats are just a wonderful animal but sheep have there own little place in my heart too. I just read the sweetest book called The Year of the Goat, it is a story of a couple trying to find what goat was for them and tells of their experience visiting many many different goat farms across the country my husband and I both really enjoyed reading it.
Best of luck to you in your search,
